Is there a single homeless person on earth who is worried about or offended by the term homeless, that we had to make up a whole new term that means the exact same thing?
Isn’t that kind of the point of changing a lot of these terms? To get us to think about the people that are excluded from the discourse surrounding them? Even if they don’t prefer to be called unhoused, at least it starts a conversation of, “well what is their preferred terminology?”

What term is that?
I always liked vagabond.
